Whenever you're on a multicore or multiprocessor system and have more I/O
load than a single processor can handle.

Ideally 0MQ would start one I/O thread per processor, but it's impossible
to portably obtain an answer to the question "How many processors does this
system have?", hence the I/O threads parameter to zmq_init().
